They finally did it. The boffins at Prusa Research have gotten with the times and enabled the touchscreen on the MK4 (and, by extension, MK3.5/3.9) 3D printer. This means you now have the choice between twiddling the 3D printed knob or tapping and swiping on the printer’s display.
A post on the Prusa Research blog cautions users not to expect a smartphone-like experience, although it does offer exactly the opposite of this caveat in a swipe-left-to-go-back gesture. We’ve flashed it, and it’s everything we hoped for. Two thumbs up.
There’s a lot more to firmware 6.0.0. We’ll be following up with a detailed post soon.
